Tree nail

Abstract

An improved anchor device that is capable of simultaneously securing a plurality of items while extended into the ground. The anchor device comprises a central cylindrical rod with a flanged nail head at the top for driving the apparatus into the ground and a tapered pointed end at the bottom for easy penetration into the ground. A plurality of cylindrical shaped barbs extending out from said cylindrical rod with a flanged half circle nail head at the end of each barb formed about the central cylindrical rod, extended outward and upward at an angle, oriented around the lower portion of the central cylindrical rod, spaced equally in circular, spiral, descending order for maximum extraction resistance. Cylindrical U shaped loops offset from each other and formed on opposite sides of central cylindrical rod placed under the flanged nail head for securing or anchoring objects attached to the anchor device.

I claim: 
     
       1. A tethering stake comprising:
 a. a rod with a predetermined diameter and having a circular flanged flat surface head said rod having a predetermined length and a tapered end opposite of said head; 
 b. a plurality of nail like barbs each having a predetermined diameter and extending away from said rod at a respective acute angle toward said head, each of said barbs having a distal flat surface top in a semi-circle configuration having a circular circumference edge and a diameter edge, said circular circumference edge of said top facing toward said rod and said diameter edge facing away from said rod; and 
 c. a pair of U shaped loops each having a predetermined diameter, each of said loops integral with said rod offset from one another and located below said rod head and above said barbs. 
 
     
     
       2. The tethering stake of  claim 1 , wherein the tethering stake is constructed of metal.
